Mumbai: Zee Theatre has collaborated with performing arts-focused OTT platform Nine Rasa to showcase Manish Chaudhary and Anamika Tiwari starrer “Pashmina”. Tata Sky Theatre will air the play on 26 September at 2 p.m and 8 p.m.
“This collaboration between Zee Theatre and Nine Rãsã is an attempt to make nuanced stories accessible to audiences and to familiarise them with the power and poignance of good theatre,” said the statement.
“Pashmina” follows the story of Amar and Vibha Saxena, who habitually visit a new place every summer. However, a holiday in Kashmir turns out to be an eventful trip down memory lane. Directed by Rasika Agashe, the play also stars Shaurya Shanker, Paramvir Singh, Manjeet Yadav and Yasir Iftikhar Khan.
“Zee Theatre and Nine Rasa are aligned in the belief that theatre must reach people even if they can’t reach it. By bringing immersive theatrical experiences to the audience on their screens, we collaboratively aim to expand the reach of poignant stories like Pashmina,” said Zee Entertainment’s chief creative officer of special projects Shailja Kejriwal.
“The idea of Nine Rasa was started keeping in mind that the plays, skits, storytelling are accessible to all and also help the theatre community,” said Nine Rasa founder and actor Shreyas Talpade. “Zee Theatre coming on board is a positive sign that Nine Rasa is heading in the right direction and this collaboration will surely help reach more people.”
